About KnotJigs
Designing knot tying tools, jigs and online knot design software from our
workshop in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Built by a Knot Tyer
Every jig, designer and calculator on this website started as a practical
solution to a real knot tying problem. The aim is simple: make decorative knots
easier to understand, easier to tie and easier to repeat.
Practical Tools
KnotJigs designs and manufactures physical tools for ropework, knot tying,
cord making and decorative craft.
Designed First
Products are developed through CAD design, prototyping, testing and
practical knot tying experience.
How KnotJigs Started
KnotJigs began as a small workshop project to create better tools for tying
decorative knots. Many traditional knot patterns can be difficult to learn and
even harder to reproduce consistently, particularly for beginners.
By combining practical ropework experience with engineering and CAD design,
we began developing jigs that guide the knot path and simplify the tying
process. What started as a few personal tools grew into a range of products
used by knot tyers around the world.
Designed and Made in Cornwall
KnotJigs is a trading name of The Old Drill Hall Marazion Ltd,
based in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The business is run by a mechanical engineer with a background in rope access,
fabrication and precision engineering. Products are manufactured in small batches
using modern digital manufacturing methods and tested before release.
More Than Physical Jigs
Alongside our knot jigs we also develop free online knot design tools, including
Turk’s Head knot designers, pineapple knot designers, rosette knot generators
and knot pattern calculators.
These tools are available free of charge and help knot tyers experiment with new
patterns, generate SVG layouts and learn more about decorative knot structures.
